Dear Mr. Case: In your letter dated August 11, 2009, on behalf of SoapBox Productions, LLC, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample is described by you as a “Rippit Gear Jacket”. The item is a boy’s jacket with knit and woven outer shell portions that are bonded to an inner shell of polyester knit pile fabric. The garment features a hood with a drawstring, a full frontal opening with a zippered closure, tight fitting cuffs, two zippered slash pockets below the waist and a hemmed bottom. The hood, sleeve undersides, lower sleeves and major lower portions of the garment front and back are made of 96% polyester, 4% spandex woven fabric. The back and front yoke and remaining parts of the sleeves are made of polyester tricot knit fabric. Although you suggest classification for the boy’s jacket in HTS 6201.93.3000, the fabric of the garment is laminated to a pile fabric. Following Chapter 60, Note 1 (c), laminated knit pile fabric, whether laminated to a knit or woven fabric is considered a knit fabric. The applicable subheading for the “Rippit Gear Jacket” will be 6101.30.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Men’s or boys’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6103. The duty rate will be 28.2 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
